10 biggest lies that men tell women

It's estimated that men lie twice as much as women do. Check out this list of the 10 biggest lies that men tell women from poptens.com.

10. “I don’t watch X-rated movies”

Most men like anything that involves naked women, but the content can be seen as offensive or degrading to women. Because of that, many men stay tight-lipped about their viewing habits.

9. “I like your cooking”

Not every woman's cooking deserves a Michelin star, but don't expect to hear that from her man. Quite often a man will tell a woman something is good because he cannot cook himself and does not want to run the risk of never being fed again!

8. “I don’t think she is pretty”

Regardless of how pretty that woman actually is, it is always within the best interests of a man to deny that another woman is pretty. For men, this lie is used to keep the peace; for women, the lie is something that they want to hear, even when they know the truth.

7. “I’m stuck in traffic”

Traffic jams may hit during rush hour, but when it's 9 p.m. on Sunday, it's usually not a traffic jam keeping your man away from home. This lie is used as a way to buy a little more time away from home.

6. “I’ll call you”

In most cases, this line means that he has no intentions of calling, and instead wants an easy getaway.

5. “Sorry my battery was dead/sorry I missed your call”

Smartphones may suck down battery power quickly, but if the 'My battery was dead' excuse pops up several times a week, battery life probably isn't the reason he's dodging your calls.

4. “Your butt doesn’t look big in that”

As a man, one of the worse questions to be asked is “does my butt look big in this?” A truthful yes will likely draw immediate ire.

3. “I’m fine”

Even when clearly not fine, men will use this line to avoid drama and protect the all-important male pride.

2. “It’s not you, it’s me”

It's not only a cliché, it's almost always a lie. This line is usually a gentle way to end a relationship without pointing out the obvious reason for the split.

1. “I don’t have a wife/girlfriend”

The ultimate lie that can be told by a guy to a girl and naturally at the head of the pack when it comes to the top 10 lies that men tell women. Men that like to cheat on a partner will rarely consider the women involved.
